Chapter 323: A SWEET PROMISE
To get to the basement where the car that would take them away was waiting, they had to use an elevator and Hailee saw this as an opportunity for her to escape.
Now or never.
Because if they managed to take her, Hailee didn\'t know what Giana would do to her and she didn\'t even want to guess about it.
By just seeing how Giana looked at her with such hostility and hatred, Hailee realized that she would be in even greater danger once they succeeded in their plan.
Therefore, with great force, Hailee bit the ear of the man who was holding her, so hard that she could hear the man\'s screams full of pain echoing through the walls of the house and making her ears ring painfully.
However, Hailee didn\'t let go of the bite until the man shoved her to the floor and with all the strength she had, Hailee scurried toward the elevator and pressed the button to close the door very hurriedly, panic and adrenaline ran in every vein of her body, especially when she saw two other men lunging forward to stop her.
Luckily, the other two were in the back and some distance away from the man who was carrying Haile, while Giana was still glued to the hallway, looking toward the living room, hoping to see the figure she wanted to see.
Of course Hailee knew who Giana wanted to see right now. The mad woman was already getting delusional about her obsession with Ramon.
Meanwhile, Aileen, her adopted sister was unable to move an inch and just stood frozen with a face full of fear, watching how Hailee bit the big man.
It seemed, if it weren\'t for Giana\'s cursing at her for how useless she was, Aileen would never have realized her stupefied state.
On the other hand, the elevator doors managed to close before anyone could catch up, but before reaching the basement, Hailee pressed the emergency button which brought the elevator to a sudden halt.
And now, Hailee was trapped in that tiny room, but at least she was safe there, for now…
================
Finally the gate was successfully broken. It was almost like the gates of hell were being forcefully torn down and sending the demons out of their lair to create a commotion.
The sun shone faintly in the sky, indicating that the day would soon turn to night, but for Ramon and his men, this was just the beginning.
A shooting scene was unavoidable and they were all ready for this gun battle.
A bullet was shot which then nimbly pierced the chest of a man, who was Leon\'s accomplice as Ramon\'s men burst into the house.
Ramon was at the very front as they started shooting at every enemy in sight.
Maybe because they didn\'t expect that Ramon would find this place so quickly or maybe because they didn\'t expect this to happen at all, there didn\'t seem to be any significant resistance and within minutes. The place had been taken under control by Ramon\'s men who started combing the house with every guard they brought before Ramon came.
Meanwhile, Ramon himself opened every room in the house to look for Hailee, even the places his men had checked.
However, nothing. Ramon couldn\'t find his wife anywhere.
Anger and hopelessness are two feelings that should not surge at the same time because the result of their combination would create damage that is so large and difficult to control.
However, it was unavoidable right now, because Ramon felt not only anger and despair, but all sorts of other bad emotions, which made his vision darken and he couldn\'t even feel the pain of last night\'s gunshot wound.
Meanwhile, in the living room, there were about eleven men whom Ramon\'s men had seized and were ready to be interrogated.
"Where is she?" asked Ramon in a voice that sounded breathless. Strongly resisting the urge to kill someone really required extra strength.
"Where\'s the woman you brought with you?" David took over the interrogation and tried to explain it better to them.
Only, Ramon didn\'t have any patience left for that. He then took the gun that was in Marco\'s hand and shot the man closest to him in the head.
"Where is she?" asked Ramon again.
This time, even David backed off as he didn\'t want to be anywhere in Ramon\'s shooting range. He could see the madness in Mr. Tordoff\'s eyes.
"Where is she?"
And another person was shot dead because no one answered.
"Where is she?"
There were only eight people left now.
"Where is she?"
There were only seven people left now.
"Where is she?"
Five left.
"Where is she?"
Three left.
"Where is she?"
Two left…
Apparently, Leon had done a really good job training his people to be loyal to him. Even after seeing their comrades who died because they refused to speak, it didn\'t really make them open their mouths.
And finally, only one person was left...
Just at that moment, Ian entered the room carrying a man. "I found him trying to escape in the basement," he said as he pushed the man onto the pile of ten dead guards.
The shrill and frightened voice of the man Ian had just brought, indicated that the man was not part of Leon\'s men.
Realizing that, Ramon turned his attention to the man. He gripped the man\'s jaw very tightly and raised his head very roughly.
"Axcel Dimatrio," said Ramon. Of course he recognized this bastard as he studied detailed information on Roland Dimatrio who nearly harassed Hailee in the past. "What are you doing here?"
Axcel was scared sh*tless to face Ramon. He felt his whole body no longer have any strength and fear coursed through every inch of him, like an insect gnawing at his skin…
"I… I don\'t know anything… really, I didn\'t do anything… you have to release me… I\'m not involved in any of this," Axcel stuttered to explain himself.
But, of course, not even a fool would believe what he said.
"Okay," said Ramon lightly. "Tell me where my wife is and I will ask one of my men to take you home safely," Ramon promised, accompanied by a smile.
However, the people around Ramon shuddered when they saw that smile and heard the sweet promise.
